Describe the scene where Thai people live in harmony with elephants.

The elephant regarded as a national treasure by Thai people is their most loyal friend.

Since ancient times, the elephant has been a symbol of victory, prosperity and good luck in the hearts of Thais. As early as Dacheng Dynasty, in a battle between Thailand and Myanmar, hundreds of elephants went into battle with people, bowed their heads and kicked wildly, and quickly defeated the Burmese army, which became a brilliant page in Thai history. Later, the Thai people loved and revered elephants, built the Elephant War Memorial Tower devoutly, held elephant festivals with different characteristics, and held antique parades between people and elephants. Their content is rich and colorful, which seems to promote and create a spirit.

Smart and capable elephants not only play a role in production and life, but also play an important role in the prosperous tourism industry. Their wonderful performances bring fun and enjoyment to tourists.

The elephant performance in Nongnooch Tropical Garden is famous all over the world. Far from Bangkok, it is a park-like playground. Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, exhibition halls and other buildings are distributed in various landscapes. The owner of Nongnooch Tropical Garden is a descendant of Huang Liang in China, so we can see the characteristics of Jiangnan Garden everywhere, which makes people feel very cordial. The elephant performance field is open-air, very spacious, hidden in the flowing green trees. We followed the crowd into the stands, and as soon as we were seated, we saw elephants walking around in twos and threes, like patrolling and walking, enjoying themselves. Many people take out bananas and give them to elephants. The elephant accepted them politely. After swallowing them, he looked up and roared his thanks to them. This is very human and interesting.

At the beginning of the performance, under the command of the animal trainer, a dozen elephants dressed in red and green lined up. They beat gongs and drums with slow pace, great momentum, rhythm and charm, just like the opening of a literary performance. Elephant or team modeling, or dancing in pairs, or standing upright with powerful hooves, or rolling the nose of the living, is delicate, thrilling, flexible and ingenious, which makes people nervous and absorbed, and sometimes laughs and becomes fascinated. In the middle of the performance, the staff put a carpet mattress in the center of the venue, allowing tourists to lie on their backs or supine to accept the elephant's jump, saying that it is auspicious to contact elephants in this way. Moreover, every time an elephant crosses a person, it is strong enough to step on the soles of people's feet and gently massage them. Women press their chests and men press their hips, with graceful posture, which causes laughter from time to time. The docile and obedient elephant seems to know gestures and human language. It's really cute.

Miss Li, the tour guide, told us that elephants can also tug-of-war with people and play football. Unfortunately, these two programs were not arranged on this day, which made us feel a little sorry. At the end of the performance, we scrambled to take a photo with the elephant and gave the elephant a tip of 20 baht. The elephant then sends the tip into the owner's pocket with his nose, which is well-trained and tacit.
